With their town devastated by titanic hurricanes, the citizens of the spiral-haunted town of Kurozu-cho--including Shuichi, Kirie and her family--find themselves cut off from the outside world. Reporters and rescue teams cross the mountain range into Kurozu-cho only to find themselves unable to leave. Trapped inside the cursed ruins, the desperate survivors struggle and huddle together, waiting to run into giant snails or worse. The very laws of nature are changed as the spiral sucks them in. And to fight it, or to escape, the last survivors must go to the heart of the horror to witness what may be their evenutal fate..."

A good ending to the series, thankfully. Often a build up to a big reveal can fall flat, but Ito delivered on his promise!
I felt the Cronenbergian body-horror element peaked in volume 2, not that it wasn't present in 3, but the emphasis in the final instalment was on the weird, and building more towards a Lovecraftian cosmic horror. Unsettling fun: 4/5 🐌

The last volume in a deeply unsettling horror manga series. The jolts come from high strangeness instead of graphic violence. In this it reminds me of Parasyte. Highly recommended.

kammartinez Ohhhh man, Junji Ito: the master of disturbing horror manga. I have a hard time reading his work because it really freaks me out - and that's a rather hard thing to do, as I'm the kind of person who can watch The Walking Dead while eating a steak and be quite happy about the situation. 8y
